Title: GeneSys Editor update
Post by: PBrennick on September 01, 2008, 04:54:48 AM
Hi,

This version fixes an issue  with the Mini-FileManager. TABS (\t escape sequence) do not work correctly if you are declaring a top-level menu item. The TAB is referenced from the beginning instead of the end of the word(s). I suppose I could have used multiple escapes but I just did it another way, instead.

Plus I shamelessly added my picture to the 'About The Editor' Dialog.

I consider this release as stable and will probably not do a lot with the editor for some time to come.

Paul,

Unfortuneately GeneSys Editor Plus is now hanging when I start it up. I extracted the new updated files into my GeneSys folder and clicked yes to overwrite. Do I need to do something differently ?

It started up normally first time, I changed backgrount color, font, and text color. Exited the program. Restarted and the program now hangs everytime.

dEbUgGeR,
I have managed to reproduce this problem. It appears you chose black for a background color which means that the BgColor variable will contain zero and cause the registry initialization process to go into an endless loop. Sorry, I screwed up.

The fix is simple, the bug is horrible. I will fix it right away.

Yes you're right, I chose black as a background. Thanks for the quick fixing. I'm enjoying GeneSys immensely.

Hi Greg,

As a temporary solution for the hanging problem, you can download a copy of the GeneSys editor from SkyDrive (http://cid-a11e95963c39bddd.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/GeneSysEditor.zip)

Hi Guys,
It is fixed, black is allowed as well as all other colors. It took me a bit because I was having a timing issue with opening the window, setting the back and foreground colors and doing the syntax highlighting. The idea was to do it in a way that there is no discernable changing going on. I have achieved that. Also, I have added a dummy entry into the registry (last in the list) that I can watch to see if the registry entries have been deleted.

You can get the updated editor in the usual place. I will wait one day before updating SkyDrive and notifying Ghirai.

Greg, I appreciate the fact that YOU appreciate the efforts of Vortex and myself.
Thank you,
-- Paul

An Impressive editor, It didn't seem fazed by the big .asm file that was giving trouble to my notepad++  :bg
Nice package gentlemen but what is it with that big step by step delete thing. We are not babies, just tell us to delete the folder  :green

Thank you for the kind words. You may be right about the step-by-step thing. I will look at it.

I have not been around for eons. I was just wondering how the project was doing.

Hi zcoder,

Paul will be not here for a while. The medical treatment is continuing. We started to work on new tools to support the GeneSys editor.

no source code include? :(

Are you talking about the source code for the editor? If so, that may be possible. First I would have to talk to Vortex about it. There is also one other who is not known as a member of the team yet; I need to okay it with both of them.

I understand, I will talk to the other two team members as soon as I get out of the hospital. As far as what you do with the sources, that is your own business. If released, it is freely released with no restrictions. I am complimented by the fact you feel you can learn from my coding. Teaching others is my desire and learning by example is something I firmly believe in.

Hi Paul,

If you feel that it's OK for you, we can release the source codes.

great!

because now, I don't understand assembly language, but I can play it in the OllyDbg's debugging, with source code that can help me understand MASM's advanced language keywords. english is a biggest problem for me,  :(

waiting for you big news! :boohoo:
